Here are the products we thought were the most interesting from the Holiday Gift Guide 2021 from the Today Show.

• LG Speaker XBOOM Bluetooth Speaker - Decent for the price, but the Altec Lansing Mini LifeJacket is a better deal most of the time.
• Fire TV Stick 4K
• mophie Juice Pack
• Apple AirTag - Good for the Apple Fan Boy, but everyone else should look at the Tile.
• BOREAD Multi Ports USB Charging Station
• Pillow Pad Cushioned Tablet Stand - Another great choice is the Tablift Tablet Stand.
• Oral-B Pro 1000 Electric Toothbrush
• Tile Pro (2020)
• Echo Dot
• Amazon Smart Plug - Good product, but a little bulky. We like the Aoycocr set.
• Voch Night Light Bluetooth Speaker - Solid, but so is the iHome iBT62B.

These are some items that don't seem like a great deal.

• Bedside smartphone vase and charger - Water and power. What could go wrong? Better to go with the Yootech Wireless Charger
• Stroller Hook Charger - Incredibly specialized and seemingly unneeded.
• Victrola Vintage Suitcase Record Player - Victrola is not the brand it used to be. Check out the Crosley instead.
• Lefree Digital Counting Money Jar - Doesn't make a lot of cents. Sorry, sense.

• HidrateSpark PRO - Great for outdoors people.
• Belkin Magnetic Phone Mount with Face Tracking
• SanDisk iXpand Flash Drive
• Amazon Eero Mesh WiFi Router
• Sony SRS-XB23 Portable Speaker - Good speaker. We still prefer the Altec Lansing Mini LifeJacket.
• BlissLights Sky Lite Laser Star Projector
• Fujifilm Instax Mini 11 Instant Camera - Also consider the Polaroid Go.
• Nintendo Switch Ring Fit Adventure
• HP Sprocket Select Portable Photo Printer - A better option than the cameras.
• Zhiyun Smooth 4 Handheld Smartphone Gimbal

These are some items that don't seem like a great deal.

• STM Dux Plus for Apple iPad - Too expensive for a generic case.
• Topvision Mini Projector - We have greater trust in the Monster Vision line.

• Philips SmartSleep Wake-up Light
• Click and Grow Smart Garden
• Fitbit Charge 5
• Cricut Joy
• AfterShokz AIR Open-Ear Sport Headphone - We love these, and also recommend the AEROPEX and OPENCOMM. Also check out info on the charger and OPENCOMM tech.
• Bose SoundLink Micro Portable Outdoor Speaker - Decent speaker, but too expensive compared to Altec Lansing HydraMini Wireless
• Ember Temperature Control Travel Mug
• Apple TV 4K - Good for the Fan Boy.
• Beats Solo3 Wireless On-Ear Headphones - Decent if you want the extra bass, if it's on sale.
• Nintendo Switch Lite - The full Switch is better for most gamers.

These are some items that don't seem like a great deal.

• PhotoSpring 10 Frame - No real reason for these to exist anymore.
• FIZZICS DraftPour Beer Dispenser - Our research suggests that this product is "eh."

• Xbox Series S - Easier to find, but the Xbox Series X is a better console.
• Rise Gardens Personal Rise Garden
• Oculus Quest 2 - Alos consider the HTC Vive
• GoPro HERO10 Black
• Theragun Prime
• Nintendo Switch Console
• Bartesian Premium Cocktails on Demand - Also consider the Drinkworks.
• TCL 50-inch 4K Roku Smart TV
• Sonos Speaker
• Apple iPad Mini

These are some items that don't seem like a great deal.

• Bose Frames Soprano - We prefer the Fauna glasses.
• Wristcam Modular Camera Smartband for Apple Watch - A stalker camera is never a great idea.
• Away Luggage - We really like the Amazon Basics version.
